“I didn’t set out to become The Monkey Whisperer—I just followed my passion and refused to back down,” Hammonds says. His memoir provides an insider’s perspective on a misunderstood and often sensationalized trade, while also delving into broader themes of resilience, transformation, and moral ambiguity.
The Monkey Whisperer is now available in paperback, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook formats via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.
